Diagnosis of Migraine:

Diagnosing migraine often relies on the patient’s history of headache pain that aligns with migraine characteristics. Physical examinations may not reveal any abnormalities causing the headaches. Additional tests such as blood tests or brain imaging, especially in cases where other causes are suspected or when headache relief is not achieved with medications, may be considered on an individual basis.

Due to the recurrent and debilitating nature of migraines, patients should consult a healthcare professional to exclude other causes and establish a definite diagnosis. The goal of medical care is to reduce headache intensity, frequency, and improve the overall quality of daily life.
